Perhaps you've hit on the purpose of the exterior "lunchbox" thing - after all Busty Wetsuit Girl does reach for the lunchbox when she gets back to the car. Hmm, I've just realised how wrong that sounds, never mind! 
Edit, I've just found the "lunchbox" on the LR website, it's actually an "external gear carrier"... ... so I guess it's for drugs, part of the "urban" theme. Last edited by blackwolf on 10th Sep 2019 9:56am. Edited 1 time in total |

the way i see it, this car is build for the occupants. when the defender/90/100/series were build to work and did that well.
this car will NEVER be a work horse. The commercial version is a joke!all doors no load load bay. saying that if i were looking for a disco type car this would be the one! It just should have been renamed something else. It is in no way a DEFENDER replacement! oh and 3 roof options? no sunroof, sunroof, big sunroof  My 109 thread

Ive been hanging on to my 2015, Discovery HSE Luxury, waiting to order a Defender II. I wasn’t keen on the Discovery 5, but with a replacement cost, like for like, of nearly £85,000 for a Defender II, the Discovery 5 is suddenly a surprise contender! The D240 engine in a Defender II is also less economical than my current Discovery, something I find quite hard to comprehend! Last edited by Midlander1231 on 10th Sep 2019 11:01am.

£925 for a built in air compressor.......... this is robbery seeing as there is one built into every air-suspended car anyway, why not just utilise that with an extra connection ? Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

This looks hideous from the side on as a commercial  2007 2.4 90 fettled & remapped. |

Specced up a Swiss 110X P400 with the cheapest Urban pack and a few other options. On the road price VAT included 121.990 CHF or equivalent 99.000 £.
Guess I’m going to take even better care of the SVX from now on. 
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Everything that is wrong about this new Discfender was highlighted by two things.
1. McGovern. The way he was dressed is how he ‘sees’ the evolution of LR. Snazzy, middle-aged urban chic. Open collars, jacket, hankie in the breast pocket. That, to him and the design team, is their target market. 2. Architects. This was then backed up by one of the many videos when a slim, middle-aged, be-stubbled architect, sporting a white open-collared shirt, slid his plans into his Defender before driving off, later showing it parked up in the McLaren-Factory sterile double garage of his Uber-contemporary home. This is JLR’s target market. I’m not saying that amongst us on this forum there aren’t urbanites, middle-agers, architects and professionals, and open-collar wearing men (indeed I’ve been known to sport an open-collar with a jacket on occasion). The difference is that on this forum there are also the retired, the DIY mechanics, the unemployed, the farmer, soldier, utility worker. The teacher, the company exec, the accountant. There’s Overlanders, green-laners, modifiers and poseurs. There are the sporty types, the loafers, the always-in-the-garage-of-a-Sunday-ers. There are thin types and fat types, men types and women types. Some with double-barrelled surnames, some who are not even sure if they have a name. Some who want a clean good-handling Defender, some who want a hoseable workhorse. There’s the member who knows everything about LRs, and those that know nothing. Those who attend fairs and shows and take endless photos, those that merely accept it for what it is. There are those who’s first focus is to remap, those who want to ‘find that leak’ and those that just need to tow a horse box. And between us we own not one Defender that looks like the next, and that’s not just because one is clean and one is dirty. The variety of people, views, tastes, mods and vehicles that can be found on this forum, yet who all settle on a level-playing field that is the singular, almost obsessive love that comes of Defender ownership, is what made this vehicle so great. This new Defender is clearly a capable bit of kit, for the 21c. But much as with another 21C-ism, this vehicle is having an identity crisis. It is a Disco 5, but it wants to identify as a Defender, and it has every ‘right’ to do so. Just not by me it won’t.  Monsieur Le Grenadier
